Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Beginner Level
Prerequisite:  Students need to be fluent in :

                        The four operations with positive and negative numbers.
                                                                 
                        The use  of the distributive property.
                                                                  
                                                                       
NOTE : Students must have a reasonable amount of academic maturity to enroll.

The way I teach this skill is very easy to learn and your child will be prepared for success in Algebra.
 I will show students how to do an exercise on the white board. They will learn  by actually doing example exercises during class. I will repeat with another exercise and will explain as many times as needed until the students are ready to do the exercises by themselves. Once started, I will check their answers for accuracy and follow up with any necessary explanations. I encourage all participants to try as many exercises as possible. I follow up the class with an upload of homework with the solutions.

                             Concerning accommodations. (For students who have Math anxiety)

 I set up the chat in the class for private. So students can answer questions in the chat and only I get to see the answers.I do not call on anyone to answer questions in front of the class, I simply write an exercise on the whiteboard and encourage all to answer via the chat, again in private and I give you private feedback. This affords everyone a chance to answer   and lowers the anxiety level a ton. :)

The course breakdown is as follows:  (NOTE: Instructor reserves the right to change and modify content)
 
    Class 1:  Basic vocabulary and classification of polynomials. 
                   Adding ,subtracting, multiplying and dividing monomials. 

    Class 2:  Adding polynomials of different degrees. 
                   One variable, two variables etc

    Class 3: Subtracting polynomials . 
                  Emphasis on avoiding common pitfalls when subtracting.

    Class 4: Multiplying powers of the same base. (review)

    Class 5 :   Multiplying monomial by monomial. 
                     Multiplying a monomial by polynomials.

    Class 6:   Multiplying polynomials by polynomials.

    Class 7 :  Dividing a polynomial by a monomial.

    Class 8 :   Dividing a polynomial by a polynomial.

Learning Goals

As a private tutor since 1995 I learned that students want a math teacher who is friendly, non-judgmental and is interested in their success in math.
Students want concise and simple explanations.

 I have developed my own method of teaching this skill. 
I have successfully taught this skill to hundreds of students .
Once you learn it you will never forget it. 
After watching Khan Academy and You tube videos on this topic I have seen nothing like the method I teach.
This skill is essential in order to learn Algebra properly.
I provide quality instruction to your child, you will be glad you chose me as his/her math teacher.

The YouTube video is kind of old but it received 35,000 views.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Florida Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
Bachelor's Degree from University of Houston
Hello everyone! I am Mr. Millan!

A little about me:

I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Houston, where I found my passion for the vast field of mathematics. I worked as an engineer for HNU Systems, an environmental company based in Boston, where I not only excelled in my craft, but was asked to train personnel in industrial, academic and corporate settings.

However, something felt missing in my career. I began tutoring mathematics to people from all walks of life and found that I could combine my two passions: mathematics and my newfound love for teaching. As a result, I obtained an Educator Certificate from the Miami Dade County Public School System, and officially began tutoring full-time in 1995.

I realized this profession was my true calling in life when one of my very first clients, a prospective PhD student, told me I was a natural at teaching. This was the first of hundreds more praises of my teaching style and effectiveness.

Many people believe that they cannot learn math. However, I challenge that opinion every day. Everyone can learn the beautiful language that is mathematics. I have cultivated an eclectic but very effective form of teaching that has proven applicable to every one of my clients, from children to college students, and even teachers and professors. My students often tell me that I make math look and feel easy and doable, and they are able to grasp the concepts very quickly.

My 30+ years of teaching experience has been a rewarding experience. I have worked with all kinds of students, even those needing special accommodations. I have had the opportunity to connect with each one of my students and boost their confidence, not only in math, but in all academic endeavors. Mathematics becomes manageable, fun, and accessible to all my students!

 

 

With Outschool, I teach all levels of math to all ages within the platform. I teach:

    Arithmetic
    Pre-Algebra
    Algebra I & II
    College Algebra
    Geometry
    Analytic Trigonometry
    Pre-Calculus & Trigonometry
    Business Calculus
    Calculus
    High School & College Level Statistics

 

I cannot wait to kickstart this fun, learning experience with you as we navigate challenging math concepts and learn them with ease!
